If this happens to you, you may have what is commonly known as: &#8220;Sensitive Teeth.&#8221; Things such as cavities and fractured teeth are also known to cause sensitive teeth. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/arrowdentalarts.com\/home\/learn-dental-crowns\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rancho Cucamonga Dentist<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> has ruled these problems out, then worn tooth enamel, a cracked tooth or an exposed tooth root may be some of the other key reasons why you may also have sensitive teeth.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A layer of enamel, the toughest and strongest substance in the body, protects the crowns of healthy teeth. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A layer called cementum protects the tooth root under the gum line. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Underneath the enamel and the cementum is dentin, a part of the tooth that is less dense than enamel or cementum.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The dentin has microscopic tubules, which are little hollow tubes or canals. When the dentin no longer has its protective covering, the tubules gives heat and cold or acidic or sticky foods an opportunity to exhilarate the nerves and cells inside the tooth. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This generally causes hypersensitivity and tenderness. Luckily, the irritation does not cause long term damage to the pulp. Dentin may be exposed when gums recede. The result can be hypersensitivity near the gum line.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-8587\" src=\"http:\/\/arrowdentalarts.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/dental-care-tips-best-rancho-cucamonga-dentist-local-rancho-cuamonga-dentist.png\" alt=\"dental care tips best rancho cucamonga dentist local rancho cucamonga dentist\" width=\"1280\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https:\/\/arrowdentalarts.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/dental-care-tips-best-rancho-cucamonga-dentist-local-rancho-cuamonga-dentist.png 1280w, https:\/\/arrowdentalarts.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/dental-care-tips-best-rancho-cucamonga-dentist-local-rancho-cuamonga-dentist-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/arrowdentalarts.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/dental-care-tips-best-rancho-cucamonga-dentist-local-rancho-cuamonga-dentist-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/arrowdentalarts.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/dental-care-tips-best-rancho-cucamonga-dentist-local-rancho-cuamonga-dentist-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/arrowdentalarts.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/dental-care-tips-best-rancho-cucamonga-dentist-local-rancho-cuamonga-dentist-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/arrowdentalarts.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/dental-care-tips-best-rancho-cucamonga-dentist-local-rancho-cuamonga-dentist-1080x1080.png 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/arrowdentalarts.com\/home\/learn-dental-crowns\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rancho Cucamonga Dentist <\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">will tell you that proper oral hygiene is the essential key to preventing gums from receding and causing sensitive-tooth pain.
